2017 NISSAN TITAN Complaints

WHEN THE TRUCK GOES INTO REGEN MODE THE CAB FILLS WITH EXHAUST SMELL WHILE AIR IS ON AND IN THE FRESH AIR POSITION. IT IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHILE STOPPED.

THE TRUCK HAS DEVELOP A TICKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE BAY I HAVE GONE BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES CAUSE ITS GETTING LOUDER AND THE DEALER SAY IYS NORMAL THE TRUCK SOUNDS LIKE DIESEL ENGINE THE TRUCK WASNT DOING THAT NOISE WENT I BOUGHT IT IT STARTED AFTER THE 3 OIL CHANGE AND NEVER GO ALWAY ITS A NEW TRUCK BOUGHT IT IN 2018 AND HAS 16322 MILES ON IT COULD SOMETHING BE DONE WITH THAT NOISE

WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS A 2 LANE HIGHWAY, AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE THE TURN, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND TO DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, WHICH HAD TO SLOW DOWN ABRUPTLY TO AVOID COLLISION. THERE WAS AMPLE SPACE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TURN MANEUVER TO COMPLY WITH TRAFFIC LAW. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 3 SECONDS FOR THE ENGINE TO RESPOND TO DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THE APPLICATION OF POWER WAS SLUGGISH AT BEST. DURING THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE ROLLED SLOWLY ACROSS THE LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. DEPRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR DID NOT CAUSE A RESPONSE BY THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE HAD COASTED NEARLY ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC BEFORE THERE WAS SUFFICIENT POWER TO ACCELERATE.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW. I HAVE A CLUNKING AND LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING. IT STARTED AROUND 14,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS. THE LAST TIME THE MECHANIC ROAD WITH ME AT 20430 MILES AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. TWO DAYS LATER WHEN I PICKED UP THE TRUCK, THE SERVICE WRITER TOLD ME IT WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC FOR THE TRUCK TO CLUNK AND BE LOOSE. I THEN MADE A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT TO NISSAN CORPORATE. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL TO BE LOOSE, AND CLUNK. WHILE DRIVING IN LESS THAN PERFECT CONDITIONS 6/28/2019 INTERSTATE 40 GOING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. I WAS PULLING A 20 FOOT GOOSENECK TRAILER TOTALING ABOUT 6,000 POUNDS. I HAD THE CRUISE SET AT 45 MPH. I HAVE NOT HAD A TICKET IN 25 YEARS. THIS EXTRA WEIGHT AND THE CURVY ROUGH ROADS CAUSED THE LOOSE DRIVING TO BE A REAL PROBLEM. IT IS DANGEROUS. THERE ARE MANY POST ALSO ON THE TITAN XD FORUM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE.

ERROR CODE P0527. FAN SPEED SENSOR. WHEN A/C IS ON AND THIS SENSOR FAILS, ENGINE GOES INTO HIGH RPM TOO INCORRECTLY COOL OFF MOTOR/TRANS. WHEN ACCELERATING, VEHICLE PERFORMS POORLY (BARELY MOVES). THIS HAPPENED WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL TO AND FROM OUR DESTINATION AND OF COURSE WHILE DRIVING. DRIVER IS LEFT IN A PRECARIOUS SITUATION AS YOU ACCELERATE TRUCK BARELY MOVES ALL DUE TO A BAD SENSOR. SENSOR TELLS VEHICLE ITS OVERHEATING WHICH ISN'T THE CASE AS TEMPERATURE GAUGE / RANGE IS NORMAL. WOULD HAVE A BETTER DESIGN IF A) A SECOND LEVEL VERIFICATION OCCURRED COMPARING TRUCK TEMP BEFORE ENTERING SAFE (LIMP) MODE AND 2)ERROR CODE APPEARED ON DASH INFORMING THE DRIVER AND DEALER OF THE ISSUE. IF CODE HAD APPEARED ON DASH, DEALER COULD HAVE LOOKED UP CODE WHEN I CALLED AND SIMPLY STATED "TURN OF A/C TO RESUME TO NORMAL DRIVING". DEALER WAS BAFFLED UPON ARRIVAL WITH NO PRIOR REPORTS AND WITH NO INDICATION ON WHERE TO START TROUBLESHOOTING THIS ISSUE. TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED. WOULD HAVE BEEN AN AWFUL SITUATION IN AREAS WHERE NO CELL COVERAGE EXISTS AND 125 MILES FROM HOME. LUCKILY WE HAD PLANNED TO RIDE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S VEHICLE THAT DAY OR THIS ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED. END USERS SHOULD HAVE A BOOKLET OF ERROR CODES AND POSSIBLE REMEDIES. TURNING OFF THE A/C WAS THE SOLUTION AND AN END USER QUICK FIX VS. LEAVING THE DRIVER IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. TRUCK HAS ONLY 11,200 MILES AND IS A 2017 MODEL.

TRAVELING AT 25-30 MPH ON A DRY, GRASS COVERED ROAD, APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, NO BRAKING OCCURRED; I THEN PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD, I FELT THE ABS PULSATING, BEGAN TO HEAR A "CLUNKING" SOUND AND FEEL A CLICKING IN MY BRAKE PEDAL MATCHING THE TIMING OF THE CLUNKING SOUND. SINCE THE BRAKES WERE NOT RESPONDING I THEN TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE TRUCK, IT DID NOT RESPOND; I THEN TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT, NO RESPONSE. THE TRUCK CONTINUED STRAIGHT INTO A TREE, HEAD ON COLLISION. NOT WATCHING THE SPEED I ASSUME I WAS DOING 20-25MPH WHEN THE TRUCK HIT THE TREE, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. AFTER THE COLLISION, WHEN PREPARING FOR THE TOW, IT WAS OBSERVED THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS DISCONNECTED AT MID-WAY OF THE TRUCK, NOT SNAPPED, JUST OFF. THIS SEEMED A STRANGE RESULT WITH A HEAD-ON COLLISION; THE TOW DRIVER MADE THE SAME OBSERVATION. *DT *DT*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE CONTACT SMELLED EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WEST HERR NISSAN OF LOCKPORT (6069 S TRANSIT RD, LOCKPORT, NY 14094, (716) 280-6354) STATED THAT THE ODOR WAS NORMAL. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE WHO AGREED WITH THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 0.

SOMETIMES THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON IN THE MIDDLE OF ME DRIVING. THEN IT REDUCES MY TITAN TO 10MPH. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION AND I WAS GOING LESS THAN 30MPH BOTH TIMES. THE TRACTION LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON WHEN I DRIVE SOMEWHERE AND LET MY CAR SIT IDLE. USUALLY WHEN THAT HAPPENS ALL THE LIGHT APPEAR. I'LL TURN IT OFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS WILL DISAPPEAR EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT. THE FIRST TIME THIS EVER HAPPENED WAS WHEN WE WERE SITTING IDLE IN A PARKING LOT AND AT FIRST IT WOULDN'T EVEN GO ANYWHERE.
